Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there, I have a lan behind a FreeBSD box using IP's from the reserved IP pool (192.168.1.x) and I'm dialing in with the FreeBSD box using UserPPP. Details follow: ----------------- O/S: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE Command-line: ppp -alias hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 spiral.test.net spiral # FreeBSD box 192.168.1.2 test1.test.net test1 # Win95 box 196.7.74.84 spyral.iafrica.com spyral # IP assigned to # me by my ISP ppp.linkup: 196.7.74.84: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR Here's what I can do: I can telnet to the FreeBSD box from the Win95 machine, I then run 'ppp -alias' and dial into my ISP. After that, I can ping out from my machine, telnet to others, etc... and even browse from there using Lynx. Problem comes in when I try to ping from the Win95 box. Nothing happens. I have a feeling there's something wrong with my routing tables, but have no idea where to start. If anyone has had this working, please respond. I really am desperate. Thanks in advance, Brad
